Christine house has the best venue and service ! I use the lounge for my birthday and all my guest loved it, her customer obsession is top notch, the food was flavourful and delicious . Her cocktails and palm wine presentation were mind blowing! I would recommend her venue a gazillion times! Thanks for making my birthday special!

I came in on a whim with my wife because we fancied a proper full English and there is no better description for what we got than a proper full English! At £10 for “the works” every part of this breakfast tastes fantastic and is enough for the hungriest of visitors For the size and taste of this breakfast and the price, Sue’s crafty cafe is a hidden gem and Sue is the diamond at the heart of it! Absolutely worth a visit

Came here for a quick breakfast, the food was lovely but it took a ridiculously long time considering there wasn’t many people. The atmosphere was very weird felt like I was not welcome as some of the residents were very rude and hostile towards me and I’ve never felt that any where else.

What a little gem. Booked last minute for my husbands birthday. First time here and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Food was cooked to perfection with loads of flavour. Kids enjoyed all meals, especially the Nan bread and korma curry. Was expensive but definitely worth the money. Would definitely come back again with friends and family!

Top quality Indian restaurant. Superb food. No overuse of food colouring in the kebabs, nice spicing and superb presentation. Lovely restaurant and clean toilets. Better still was the peerless service from Saif and his team. This restaurant was recommended by a work colleague and I’m pleased to report it didn’t disappoint. Highly recommended!

Brilliant Indian been many times! Only slight let down is that even when you book, sometimes we still have been sat in the waiting area for 10+ minutes for our table! But overall brilliant!

I always say that a lot of Indian restaurants in ano around the local Medway and surrounding areas or all fairly within the same level and can't at times tell between them. This however really surpasses and makes for what is a brilliant meal out. The place, people, food and all in all service is just great. I'll be back for more of the great flavour for sure

This cafe is easily a 5 as the food is hot, freshly prepared and well presented. I took a star off for the following, but this is only my personal choices and doesn't mean there is anything wrong. I would have liked a better quality sausage, even if it meant only getting one instead of two. The bacon was perfect, well cooked and nice thick slice with not loads of fat like some cafes. My coffee was lovely but again too milky for me, some like it milky, I will get milk seperate next time. Cafe was quite busy and I expected a wait but it came really quick and the staff were lovely. I recommend this cafe and I will come back. You might struggle to park a camper but the carpark is free.

Had my birthday meal here on Saturday evening and was made to feel special. The food was lovely, cocktails went down very well and the staff was so friendly. I will definitely go back again the owner made a point of speaking to everyone and making them feel welcomed.

Really nice local restaurant. The owners have worked very hard not just to produce quality, authentic Greek food. But also create the warm family friendly environment you get when on holiday there. Would highly recommend. Service was very efficient, even when fully booked and the food and staff were fantastic.

An ideal place to use as a base to explore Kent. The room was clean and the bed was comfy, The WiFi was a bit hit and miss but the staff in the hotel and restaurant were fantastic and friendly. Handy for Rochester and Canterbury, not far off the motorway. Doesn't have many rooms and I'm not sure if there is a lift. Parking is free

The only reason for 4 stars against is that the restaurant adjacent was closed for hot food. However thanks to Abby the service in the hotel and everything else was first class. Thank you and well done Abby for your efficiency, friendliness, advice and excellent service! ... Denzil M 5-7/12/2024

Staff couldn’t have done more to make our special day that extra bit special! We got married local to this premier inn and stayed there. They really went the extra mile for us. Place was spotless, staff were super polite, plenty of parking spots, food was delicious & honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They were so sweet and it really made my day 🥰♥️

We took our greyhound for a walk out to Horrid Hill the other day. It was a bit damp, but he likes being out!! I had a lovely hot chocolate with a load of whipped cream on top and chocolate sprinkles. There are his and her toilets and baby changing and disabled as well!! Loads of parking. Please note that you now have to pay to park.

Great walking area with awesome views of the Medway. Good facilities and kids playground. Dog friendly and free parking. Treat your dog to a dog friendly ice cream during the high temperatures at the cafe. Free Parking, no excuse not to pay a visit.

Riverside Country Park in Rainham, Kent, is a fantastic destination for nature lovers and families alike. Spanning 100 hectares, it offers a diverse range of habitats, including mudflats, salt marshes, ponds, and reed beds. These areas are a haven for wildlife, especially for bird enthusiasts, as the Medway Estuary is internationally recognized for its importance to wintering birds. The park is also a Green Flag Award winner, showcasing its commitment to high-quality maintenance and community involvement. During our visit, one highlight was the well-equipped children’s play area. My seven-month-old son had his first go on the swings and absolutely loved it! The play area is thoughtfully designed with toddler swings, climbing units, a slide, and other fun equipment suitable for various age groups. The picnic areas nearby make it easy to relax while keeping an eye on the little ones. For those who enjoy active pursuits, the park has scenic walking and cycling trails, including a section of the Sustrans cycle path. There’s also a café on-site for refreshments and well-maintained facilities like toilets and parking. However, do note that parking charges now apply. Whether you’re there for the stunning estuary views, wildlife spotting, or family fun, Riverside Country Park is a gem in the Medway area. It’s perfect for creating cherished family memories, just like we did.

Our first time here for many years. We had a great evening, lovely relaxed atmosphere & fantastic food! The owner had great knowledge of his dishes & even recommended certain pairings that would work best together (these were cheaper than the items we had originally selected so know the advice was genuine). Great selection of different curries & particularly liked the variety of different fish available, we will definitely be booking to go again!

The best curry I've had in a very long time. We popped in for the 2 for 25 deal as we'd not been for years. I was honestly blown away by the quality of the food, flavours and freshness of everything. It is now my favourite curry house. I had the Chicken Dansak, and it was the best Dansak I've had at any Indian restaurant ever. It was clear that it was freshly made and had the most sublime flavours. The dish was large in size and had plenty of chicken in this. My wife had the chicken biryani and also enjoyed this immensely. Highly recommended to all, and we will definitely be visiting this restaurant more in the future.

Bright, Airy, Great Service, plenty of space. Food was amazing, in my 50 years I can’t think of a meal I have enjoyed more, spices were perfectly balanced, chilli heat just right, balance between meat and veg and sauce perfect for me, can’t wait to go back.
